Name: GlowbugHabitat: [Unknown]Researcher’s Notes: The glowbug is a large flightless insect, standing just under a meter tall on average. The bioluminescent chemicals in its thorax from which it gets its name also serves as its primary defense mechanism. When threatened, it has the ability to spit these chemicals over long distances with extreme precision. Though stable when still inside the glowbug’s body, the mixture becomes extremely volatile when exposed to open air. It has been observed to stick to a surface for several seconds before igniting with devastating results.
